Last week I had fun kayaking and climbing in Cajas Ecuador (close to Cuenca).

Last WE 6th October 07, teaching Ice climbing mountaineering to a nice Lady Manuela Picq on Chimborazo, 6320m: she learn how to make his first belay an his first "abalakov"...

But late and not enough acclimated, we stop climb around 5800m.

Global warming is in process this mountain is in very bad conditions: so dry that you climb only on hundred years old hard ice...

Take really care if you make an attempt on this mountain.







Then Flying to Louisville through Miami and Dallas, for Petzl Rock Trip Red River Gorge, Kentucky. I was in the plane with my friend Chevi Crespo up to Miami, one of the best Ecuadorian climbers on the go to study in Spain. Cool time ;-)

Then I cruised on the road on a nice Dodge rental car in an American dream...

Country music to help dreaming... feel how sweet is life...

Lucky I am... On the road to the Rock Trip...


Arrived on the Place: nice cabins to stay and care about our cabin's team: Gé Pouvreau, Sonny Trotter from Canada, Mike Fuselier, Fred Labreveu, Gerhart Horager from Austria.
